Re: trowhawk or not......
whats the deal with this towhawk? Dig into a bucket to get yer stuff etc Bugger that. Stick it on the hawk and save the going back and forward every 5 seconds. On saying that I have no idea about this product therefore it's very likely I'm talking out my arse ;D

Re: trowhawk or not......
I hope it sells for the guy but most of us would set our spot in easy reach anyway, if I'm on my own then i would knock up 2 buckets of gear, 3 bags and bang it on off the spot, if i cant the job is to small for a spot then i dig it out the bucket with a bucket trowel onto my hawk and chuck it on. It seems like he has invented a tool for a problem which isn't there.
Also , just to be picky, you should have solid dabs top and bottom and down joint. sorry ;D

Re: trowhawk or not......
Each to there own but the trowhawks not just for plastering it has many other uses like tiling grouting pointing anything what comes out of a bucket or gorrilla tub the trowel will remove the lot nothing left .ever tried plastering under a stairwell with a square hawk in one hand 13 inch float in the other and the bucket between your legs not a lot of room is ther as for dabbing well thats down to the liners how can you comment on something you have never used ive been plastering for a lot of years now and i have the certs to prove it but still lets wait and see the concept is part trowel part hawk hence trowhawk ps why do plasterers critisize other plasterers work. me myself give credit to good plasterers for jobs well done .JOB DONE LETS MOVE ON.simplybesty said:

Re: trowhawk or not......
how can you comment on something you have never used
Quite easily. I've never played my guitar with 13 gauge strings. Why? cause they're more work. Same with this trowhawk. Might be useful for some things, just like thicker strings, but for skimming walls or ceilings I'll take a hawk anyday of the week.

Re: trowhawk or not......
listen Besty that is a demonstration of one of its uses and your right bottom dabs for skirting side dabs for strength along the joint and top dabs for plasterboard joins thats not the point here i am not blinded by the product at all just trying to bring some thing new and useful to various trades each to there own as you say remember this that trowel has had a lot more positive than negative responses about it a lot more your comments are welcomed but if you have never tried something then how can comment on it.

Re: trowhawk or not......
Jimfish I have a serious question.
How did you arrive at the price for it?
I'm not saying its cheap or expensive, I just want to know if you used a formular or some sort, or did you look at similar products and pitch it in that price band, or pluck a figure out of the air?
